DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by the ordinary persons skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts are within the scope of the present disclosure.

Refer to FIG. 1, which is a flowchart of an image encryption method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method comprises:

S101: acquiring a row encryption sequence and a column encryption sequence, and acquiring, from a pixel array component of a sensor, pixel rows corresponding to the respective elements of the row encryption sequence.

The row encryption sequence is used to arrange and encrypt the pixel rows in a pixel array of a sensor, and the column encryption sequence is used to arrange and encrypt the pixels in the pixel rows. The method for acquiring the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence is not limited in the present embodiment. For example, the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence may be preset, and the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence are called when an image is captured to directly generate an encrypted image; or an encryption sequence can be acquired, and an encryption system is then used to generate the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence. The present embodiment does not limit the timing of performing the operation of acquiring the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence. For example, when the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence are preset, the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence may be acquired immediately after receiving an acquisition instruction. Alternatively, when an encryption system needs to be used to generate the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence, the encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence may be acquired by the encryption system immediately after the encryption sequence is acquired. For the number of elements in the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence, it is not limited in the present embodiment as long as the number of elements of the row encryption sequence is the same as the number of pixel rows of the pixel array component, and the number of elements of the column encryption sequence and the pixel array is the same as the number of pixel columns of the pixel array component.

In order to improve the encryption capability to obtain a better encryption effect and prevent cracking, an encryption system can be used to generate the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence. It is preferable in the present embodiment that a chaotic encryption system is used to generate the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence.

Specifically, an encryption sequence may be obtained, and the encryption sequence is chaotically encrypted to obtain a row chaotic sequence and a column chaotic sequence. The number of acquired encryption sequences is not limited in the present embodiment. For example, one encryption sequence may be acquired, and a row chaotic sequence and a column chaotic sequence are generated by using the encryption sequence. For example, a row chaotic sequence may be generated by using an encryption sequence, then an element number change processing is performed on the encryption sequence to obtain a processed encryption sequence, and a column chaotic sequence is generated by using the processed encryption sequence. In order to make the row encryption sequence independent of the column encryption sequence, and further improve the encryption capability, it is preferable in the present embodiment that a first encryption sequence x₀ and a second encryption sequence y₀ may be separately obtained, the first encryption sequence is used to generate the row chaotic sequence, and the second encryption sequence is used to generate the column chaotic sequence. Specifically, two chaotic sequences may be separately generated by using a logistic mapping expression z_(k+1)=μz_(k) (1−z_(k)), that is, a first chaotic sequence corresponding to the first encryption sequence and a second chaotic sequence corresponding to the second encryption sequence are generated. Herein, μ is a constant parameter, z_(k) is the k-th element in z sequence, and z_(k+1) is the (k+1)-th element in z sequence. In the present embodiment, a first preset interval and a second preset interval are set, and the first chaotic sequence is sampled at intervals from a first element of the first chaotic sequence by using the first preset interval. That is, starting from the first element of the first chaotic sequence, the elements separated by the first preset distance are acquired to obtain a row chaotic sequence {x_(i)}, i=1, 2, . . . M, M denoting the number of pixel rows, namely, the number of pixel rows of the pixel array component. The second chaotic sequence is sampled at intervals from a first element of the second chaotic sequence by using the second preset interval. That is, starting from the first element of the second chaotic sequence, the elements separated by the second preset distance are acquired to obtain a column chaotic sequence {y_(j)}, j=1, 2, . . . N, N denoting the number of pixels of each pixel row, namely, the number of pixel columns of the pixel array component. The specific sizes of the first preset interval and the second preset interval are not limited in the present embodiment. The number of pixel rows and the number of pixel columns of the pixel array component may be the same or different, and the specific values of the number of pixel rows and the number of pixel columns are also not limited in the present embodiment.

After the row chaotic sequence and the column chaotic sequence are obtained, the row chaotic sequence is used to acquire a row encryption vector, and the column chaotic sequence is used to acquire a column encryption vector, thereby acquiring the row encryption sequence and the column encryption sequence. Specifically, the row chaotic sequence and the column chaotic sequence are rearranged according to a rearrangement order to obtain the row encryption vector and the column encryption vector. The rearrangement order is preset to rearrange the row chaotic sequence and the column chaotic sequence, thereby generating the row encryption vector and the column encryption vector. The specific content of the rearrangement order is not limited in the present embodiment, and it may be arranged from small to large or may be arranged from large to small. In the present embodiment, the row chaotic sequence and the column chaotic sequence are rearranged according to a rearrangement order from small to large to obtain the row encryption vector and the column encryption vector. After the row encryption vector and the column encryption vector are obtained, the position numbers of the elements in the row encryption vector in the row chaotic sequence are sequentially acquired, and the row encryption sequence is constructed by using the position numbers. For example, one image has 7 pixel rows, that is, the pixel array component has 7 pixel rows, namely M=7, and the row chaotic sequence thereof is {x_(i)}={2,8,4,6,5,7,3}, and the row encryption vector obtained by rearranging is {X_(m)}={2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. The position numbers of the elements in {X_(m)} in {x_(i)} are sequentially acquired and the row encryption sequence is constructed by using the position numbers. That is, a first element in {X_(m)} is X_(m1)=2, it is at a first position in {x_(i)}, and therefore its position number is 1; a second element in {X_(m)} is X_(m2)=3, it is in a seventh position in {x_(i)}, and therefore its position number is 7. By analogy, the row encryption sequence {X _(m)}={1,7,3,5,4,6,2} is obtained. The same method can be used to obtain the column encryption sequence, and the specific acquisition process is not described here again.

In the present embodiment, the pixel rows in the pixel array component are numbered in an order arranging from top to bottom. Of course, other row numbering methods may also be used, and are not limited in the present embodiment. After acquiring the row encryption sequence, pixel rows corresponding to the respective elements of the row encryption sequence, namely, a pixel row with a row number corresponding to the value of each element in the row encryption sequence, are obtained from the pixel array component of the sensor.

S102: encrypting and sorting pixels in each of the pixel rows by using the column encryption sequence to obtain encrypted pixel rows corresponding to the respective pixel rows.

Before the pixels in each pixel row are encrypted and sorted by using the column encryption sequence, and the pixels in each pixel row are column-numbered. In the present embodiment, the pixels are column-numbered by using a method of numbering sequentially from left to right. Of course, other column numbering methods may also be used, and are not limited in the present embodiment. After the column numbering is performed, the column numbers are arranged in an order of the column encryption vectors to encrypt and sort the pixels in the pixel rows, obtaining encrypted pixel rows corresponding to the respective pixel rows.

S103: arranging the encrypted pixel rows according to a preset arrangement order to obtain an encrypted image.

The encrypted pixel rows are arranged according to a preset arrangement order. The specific content of the preset arrangement order is not limited in the present embodiment. For example, it may be the position order of the elements in the row encryption sequence, and the position order may be used to arrange encrypted pixel rows, obtaining an encrypted image.

With the image encryption method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a chaotic encryption system is used to generate a row encryption sequence and a column encryption sequence, and the pixel positions of pixel rows in the image are transformed by using the row encryption sequence. Then, the pixel rows are encrypted and arranged by using the column encryption sequence. The pixel positions of the image are changed in a spatial range to directly output the encrypted image. That is, the image just generated is an encrypted image. Since the image just outputted is an encrypted image, the method can ensure the security of image information after it is acquired and outputted before it is subjected to the conventional image encryption process. The security vulnerabilities of the existing image encryption technology are remedied, and the problem of security vulnerabilities in the existing image encryption technology that there are not any encryption measures for an image after it is outputted and before it is subjected to the conventional image encryption processing is solved.
